It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.
This is an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.
Omukama Atulize.
Enkuba Etutire.
I call upon the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this difficult time.
The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom.
An official statement will follow with further details, including the funeral and mourning arrangements.
May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.
“Max is really slow,” yet he couldn’t overtake him for 13 laps, not even on fresh soft tyres.
Meanwhile, “the really slow Max” shows him how to execute the perfect overtake on his first attempt.
Verstappen: "As a pure driver, I enjoy driving flat out, and at the moment, you cannot drive like that"
He was right, look at Turn 12: LEC and NOR were full-gas for ~300m, yet their cars couldn't exceed 240km/h! 😳
'26 #F1 Rules allow the ERS to generate NEGATIVE power (recharge battery) when the driver is full-gas, up to -250kW. As the ICE power is ~400kW, the resulting power is as little as 400-250=150 kW... about half that of a Formula 3! ⚠️
The driver is full throttle, yet it's the software that decides whether power should be 200hp (240km/h in T12) or 1000hp (330km/h on the main straight), or something in between: the engineers have more control on the instantaneous power than the driver!
Therefore, LEC and NOR didn't have to lift in T12, as the power was controlled electronically there
Compared to 🟧NOR, 🟥LEC:
-🟡Had more deployment on the main straight 🔋(gaining 0.2s!) but 🟢less at lap-end 🪫
-🔵Braker later, losing on exit
-⚪️Lifted way less in T6-7, due to better downforce and/or confidence
